Today at work, I was sent out to a conference at The New America Foundation. It was entitled Counterstrike: The Untold Story of America's Secret Campaign Against Al-Qaeda. The speakers were Thom Shanker and Eric Schmitt, co-authors of a book sharing that title and NY Times correspondents on national security.
It was a really interesting discussion and very relevant to my studies, though not so much to my current job... it's aiight though. I got to leave the office for a bit (and go directly across the street, haha) But as you may have noticed in past posts of mine, I really like events with cool DC people and big wigs.
Here's a video from the discussion:

Cool, huh? And guess who's back-of-the-head is right in the middle of the screen, there. Mine! So yeah. Pretty cool indeed.
